This is quite common. So is the reverse. The confusion comes when trying to roll back to a previous version of either, or when features supported well by a newer feature are expected to operate with an older version. The problem is especially notable when a user expects features of 1.7 or 1.8 to work with a really old, old version still in production use, such as subverison 1.4.x on an old and non-updated RHEL 5 operating system. But 1.7.x and 1.8.x, I'd be very surprised to see any issues at all. The more common problem right now is subversion 1.6, which is still the supported subversion on RHEL 5 and RHEL 6. > Question 2: At first, use subversion 1.7.10 client to checkout a > work-copy.
